Happy Easter! I created this card to send off to my boys out west. I love the clean and simple look. The stamps are from Close to My Heart and I cut the eggs with CTMH's Art Philosophy cartridge. The butterfly is one of a set of three die cuts from Cheery Lynn Designs. Using a zigzag embossing folder and fringe give the illusion of a basket for the eggs.
This topiary was created using flowers also cut from CTMH's Art Philosophy and there are also several of the Cheery Lynn butterflies. I stuck them in a styrofoam ball using straight pins and hot glue. The dowel is covered with the same ribbon as the bow and I found the pot at a garage sale. The little Easter baskets have chocolate eggs inside and the tutorial to create them can be found at
Pootles Papercraft. Sam is a an independant UK Stampin Up Demonstrator and she has some awesome tutorials. Please check her out! I did up about three dozen of these delightful baskets and am off to drop them and the topiary at a retirement home here in my community. scrap happy...
